THE LATE A. D. CLARKE.
His Funeral Services Yesterday-Dr. McLeod's
Tribute to the Virtues of His Character.

The funeral of Mr.. A. D. Clarke was held yes
terday from his late residence, and was very
largely attended. The services were conducted
by his pastor. Rev. James Mcleod. assisted by
Rev. w. Hendrickson. After brief address
said of Mr.. Clarke: .Most of his life was iden-
tilted with this city. His business brought him
into contact with all our best citizens. Every
lover of good literature in the city knew Mr..
Clarke Every minister of the gospel knew him.
1t is no disparagement to others in the same
business with him to say that he had more
friends than all of them. 1t was pleasure to
trade with him. He was an intelligent, clean,
courteous, Christian gentleman AS a member
and office-bearer of the Presbyterian Church,
he discharged all his duties with fidelity. First
as deacon in the Second Church, then
elder in the Twelfth Church, and recently
uniting again with the Second Church, he has
in all his church relations, set good example
before his brethren. AS a husband. father, q
friend, and a neighbor we mourn his loss. But
orr loss is his gain. It was his purnose to go to
California in search of health His physician
and mis- friends hoped the change would do him
good. God ordered otherwise. He has called
him to better land He has seen the golden
gates of Paradise, and through them he has en-
tered into the city. He has gone to that land
where the flowers are in perpetual bloom. His
eyes have seen the King in His beauty, and am id
heavens beatitudes he shall dwell forever and
forever more.
HE has not left behind him much of this
worlds goods but, nevertheless, he has left to
his wife and children the richest OF all legacies,
namely: sterling Christian character. A good
name is rather to be chosen than great riches.
and loving favor rather than silver and gold.
Having lived Christian life and died Christian
death, we will. with faith in Jesus Christ, put
away this body which has fallen asleep until the
morning of the resurrection"

afternoon Session.

Mr. Major moved to strike the enacting clause
out of the bill introduced by Mr.. Peasants max
ing any agreement to pay attorneys fees ex
pressed IN rotes, mortgages or contracts void.
Messrs. Major, Linck. GriHiths, Beasley and
White favored the motion. Messrs Cough, Jew
ett Roberts. Gardiner, Garrison and Peasants
supported the passage of the bill. The principal
objections to the passage OF the bill were that il
would be hardship upon the men loaning
money to compel them to pay for collection: that
it would drive all OF the foreign money lenders
out of the State. and make it almost nposs Bile
to renew existing loans providing for attorneys
fees or to borrow money.
In favor OF the bill it was urged that the con.
tract for attorneys fees was the worst kind of
an agreement for usury, and that it was an ca
preston that ought not be tolerated 1t would
not drive foreign capital out of the State ar

A Girl Convicted of Stealing.

Last November Mrs. Mary Sprague. of Eugene,
Ind, came to the city on shopping tour. She
was at the Union Depot waiting for the IL o'clock
containing $27 and gold ring. The only person
who had been sitting near her was Anna Foster,
a blonde of seventeen years. The depot police
men accused her of taking the pocket book and
after she had gone out on the street they found
it where she had been standing only few min
utes before. Miss Foster. who has been in Jail
since, had her trial yesterday before Judge
Irwin. She was found guilty, but the Judge re-
served his sentence until to-day. When the
trial over Mrs. Sprague, the prosecuting
witness, went to Judge Irwin and begged him to
show the girl much lenency as possible. Miss
Fosters home is at Franklin, and she was in the
city on a visit when arrested.

WASHED EACH OTHERS FEET.
The Strange Religious Ceremony Performed
by Mrs. Woodworths Converted Sinners.

One feature of Mrs Woodworth's closing
meeting on Sunday night was the washing of
feet If the souls of those who were converted
were as opposite to white as were their pedal ex-
tremties, Jordan must have resembled Pogue's
run. The feet-washing operation was indicted
by the hoarse- voiced choir and attenuated pray
ers and also by Mrs Woodwork herself.
The rite was unattended by any demonstration
of applause from the audience which filled the
church. and the order maintained was the best
yet. After the ceremony Of the foot-tub pro-
cess, Mrs. Woodwork delivered her lone-ex-
pected farewell which complained Of the ILL
treatment she had received here from church
members
Mrs Woodwork, until the middle OF the week,
will nfiict the inhabitants of Anderson with cat
aIepsv, after which she will experiment on
Greenshurg. She also intends to again visit In
dianapolis, in June next, when she will prolong
her stay.

A Formal Ballot.


The formality of the joint convention yester-
day was reduced to the smallest limit and if the
voting for Senator could have been legally
avoided both Democrats and Republicans would
Aave assented to the omission of ballot on
tissly. Neither party felt satisfied with the
showing they would have on q call of the roll,
and as the Democrats did not relish the refusal
Of the Republicans to vote Saturday, the latter
consented to an agreement by which formal
vote could be- had. All pairs were pot off. nor
had many Of the absentees reported. so plan
that would avert discussion was sought. Rep
resentAtives of the two parties agreed that the
vote should be proportionateiy reduced by omit
